“COMME des GARÇONS SHIRT” 2000's- layered pocket print tailored jacket

Since it began in 1988, COMME des GARÇONS SHIRT has layered experimental ideas about materials and structure, starting from the universal garment we know as shirts. We are pleased to introduce an exceptional design piece that fuses tailoring and graphics.

Based on a neat three-button jacket, this exceptional piece overlays linear prints running across the front panels with three-dimensional pockets, transforming the very contours that make up the garment into a work of design.

The outer fabric is a gray blend primarily of cotton and wool, mixed with polyester. The fine diagonal weave and the heather-like texture created by black yarn add depth to the classic jacket fabric.

The front features a neat notched lapel and a three-button setup. On both sides of the body, patch pockets with flaps are placed, creating a composition that strongly emphasizes the contour of the pockets while still respecting the fundamentals of tailoring.

Furthermore, on the outer fabric, thin lines stretching vertically and graphics reminiscent of rectangles are layered together. By intersecting the actual pocket openings with the flat line drawings, it creates a visual sense of fascination—where does the structure end, and where does decoration begin? Rather than pushing the unusual to the forefront, the fact that the design’s mechanism reveals itself when viewed up close is a distinctly intellectual approach worthy of COMME des GARÇONS SHIRT.

The inner left and right front panels are also finished with black prints that intricately layer rectangles and curves. When you open the jacket, the graphic is even bolder than on the outside. The back side, which is kept light by showing the reverse of the outer fabric without covering it with lining, is another point not to overlook—this makes the design coherent even down to the interior.

Because the quality label indicates this is COMME des GARÇONS SHIRT’s original discontinued product number, we estimate it as a standout from the 2000s. The woven care tag made in France and the composition listing in both English and French also align with this conclusion. It serves as a presence that conveys the material research and structural interest that the line from that era embodied to the present day.

We especially recommend it for those seeking a touch of dissonance and playfulness in a traditional tailored jacket. From a distance, it naturally settles in as a calm gray jacket, while up close, the relationship between the pockets and the print becomes apparent in ever greater detail—truly a piece that combines everyday wearability with originality.

For styling, pairing it with well-tailored shirts or wide slacks will enhance the intrigue of the graphic. It can also be worn with long skirts or fluid, drapey trousers to achieve a genderless balance while maintaining the refinement of tailoring. You can also enjoy a layered look that adds structure when worn over a simple dress.

Please take advantage of this opportunity.
